Examine your car. Check to see whether it needs maintenance and make sure to remember the location of different things/details. Make sure you are familiar with all of the controls and that you understand the dashboard and its symbols.
Remember turn signals. The turn signal informs other drivers about your decisions and future steps. Try to develop the habit of using these signals, even when there is no one on the road. Even though some lanes are reserved for left or right turns only, switch on the turn signal anyway, because you might be followed by drivers who are unfamiliar with the terrain or who cannot see the signs due to the large number of vehicles ahead of it. It is important for other road users to know where you are going, and in addition, the signals from your car will tell them that your lane is designed for turns in the direction your turn signal is showing.
Make sure your turn signal is off after you have finished the maneuver. Put on the turn signal at about 100 feet before you reach the intersection. When driving on the highway and indicating an exit, lane change, or pass, start your signals approximately 900 feet before you make the change.
